Ooh My Lord - 10 Years of Wedded Bliss

Valentines Day, ten years ago in Fab Fiji on Castaway, was the cause for this celebratory bottle of Champers and red Rose from hubby. Fantastic memories....can't wait to visit again....one day, no doubt with the two likely lads in tow......



To celebrate, Davy and I met some awesome friends at the Devonport Wine & Food Festival for a day of pure indulgence!!!

We were in fine form and enjoyed all on offer (as you do!), including the local bands and old favourites Hello Sailor.........and tunes such as Gutter Black and Blue Lady!

Vino Victims....

A small group of us get together for a wine group once every couple of months, to enjoy tasting fine wine and food, and of course, each others company. We usually have a theme and try to wine and food match. It's great fun and we're very lucky to live in such a great wine producing country! Sometimes we have outings, but this get together was at Jo's house. We tasted 3 matching varietals from NZ and Australia, within the same price bracket, and were pleasantly surprised - with the preference going to NZ on taste and price point!!

Angels Brought Me Here....

Cheeky NFS (just guess which one she is in this pic), Mel Angel, Angel J and I, got together a few months back for a womens retreat. It was "food for the soul" and we had a wonderful host at the backpackers in Port Waikato, south west of Auckland. Other women of like minds attended, and we were treated to a relaxing weekend, void of all "big city hype" and normal daily routine/responsibilities. Davy was a blessing looking after Scorpio Son and Piscies Lad in my absence.

Beaut West Coast

A calm day on the West Coast, very therapeutic it was, trekking along the sandy shore.

A Special Soul

Angel J (thoughtful enviro woman) and I, took a walk to the beach one afternoon - her with bucket in hand (to collect any rubbish we happened upon, and to collect treasures) and I with the backpacker dog in hand (he took me for a walk!!).

Everything's a Phallic Symbol.....

Oh what a find!! - trust me to spot it....hmmmmmnnnnn - made me laugh, but then what doesn't? And I didn't even try to bring it home......

Mission....possible

Not that we were asked for one, but if I was, I believe this etching that I made in the sand at the beach that weekend would represent my life's mission statement. Live, Laugh, Love!

I'm a Virgin!!!.......................

because it's my "first time" on my very own blogspot!

I had never checked out anyone's blogspot until recently, when an old school mate came to stay. Her sister is very creative, and after perusing her blog, it inspired me to start one of my own, so here I find myself......

My hope is, that my blogspot is as much of a source of news and entertainment for family and friends, as it is an "outlet" for little old me!!
